A spokesperson for AFRA said the company is pleased to see people finding uses for old planes.

"AFRA is happy to see aircraft fuselages re-purposed in a range of creative ways," said AFRA's Martin Todd.

"We would want them to be recovered and be re-used in an environmentally sustainable fashion."

While his Boeing restoration wasn't always easy – Campbell he lived in a caravan for years during the process – he's thinking about undertaking a similar project all over again.

Campbell’s next project is a plan to turn a Boeing 747-4oo into a home in Japan, which is where he spends the other six months of the year.

He hopes his aircraft homes provide “a compelling model” for other people to take up the idea and start to put scrapped aircraft to better use.

“My hope is the project will lead to something of a global human epiphany,” Campbell writes, “a common realisation that there are far better and surprisingly straightforward means of utilising a truly great resource we've been woefully wasting for decades.”
